Project manager released on MACC bail
KOTA BARU: A project manager who was remanded to assist investigations into an alleged RM38,000 bribery case has been released on Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) bail.
A project manager suspected of accepting RM38,000 in bribes for a rural water supply project has been released on bail from Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) custody. Kelantan MACC director Datuk Azmi Yusuff confirmed the man was released today following a seven-day remand period. The release occurred after the remand order expired today, and the project manager will await further instructions from the deputy public prosecutor.
The MACC obtained the remand order on August 4th against the construction company project manager, who allegedly solicited and received the bribes for an inducement to help secure the contract for the water supply project through direct negotiations with a ministry. Early investigations revealed the offence took place in 2022, and the suspect is believed to have received the bribes in cash, bank transfers, and through third-party accounts. The case is under investigation under the MACC Act 2009.
